Practiced a lot of jumping kicks in taekwondo yesterday and managed not to injure myself.
So of course on my way home I missed a step on the stairs down to the metro and rolled my ankle 😅
Luckily it doesn't seem to be major so likely I won't have to take a break from training for too long.

久しぶり!
Went to see Love Lies Bleeding at a local movie festival night showing. A real ride, violent and stylistic, great acting, Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian especially, sufficiently campy and on occasion even funny... In a really messed up way. Also big muscled ladies *chef's kiss*

Passed my taekwondo belt test somewhat painlessly, well some pain involved but nothing I'll die from. Feel very well wrung, so I'm planning to just do sweet FA for the rest of the weekend, apart from moderate to severe videogaming.

Knee has been acting up so I've decided to take the day off from training to recuperate. I have a belt test this Saturday and don't want to risk messing up my knee just days before.

Screaming into the void but... Why is it that everyone decides now is a good time to get things done just as my coworker has gone on a month long holiday and all the work falls on me to do 🙃

Got around to seeing Dune part 2 in the cinema and yeah of course it was great. Great casting, great acting, great costumes. Might be even better than part 1.

Watched The Dead Don't Die and it's probably the most relaxing zombie movie I've ever seen. Jim Jarmusch seems like a "love him or hate him" kinda guy but I've enjoyed his movies, my favourite probably still being Coffee and Cigarettes.

Sad to hear about Akira Toriyama passing. My first teenage anime obsession was Dragon Ball Z and Chrono Trigger was one of those games that looked really cool and I always wanted to play but never got around to until later. Sadly gone before his time but he left a lasting impression.

Feels like it's been nothing but work, video games and martial arts for the past few weeks. Don't even feel like going anywhere because the weather is donkey balls. Belt test later this month for taekwondo and a shit ton of work to do. At least it's WFH so I can grumble about it comfortably.

Went back to taekwondo today and had a great special lesson with a national competitive poomsae team coach. Taught me a lot, mainly in terms of how to think of doing forms. I feel like stuff is starting to click in the right ways.

Ended up skipping yesterday's Bujinkan training to rest and rejuvenate. Been training consecutively from Sunday to Thursday so maybe a rest day or two is in order. Finally have time to properly get stuck in Helldivers 2.

Got a blister on my foot from training and it's been messing with my movement for a few days now.... Really sucks because it makes me feel clumsy and it doesn't want to heal properly. Guess I just gotta tough it out until it heals but man does it suck ass 😡

Well, I received my very first kick to the head today during sparring. Impressive, considering I'm fairly tall and my opponent was half a head shorter than me. Note to self, genius: take off your glasses next time you spar 😅
February 27, 2024 at 8:39 PM
Got praised by my taekwondo teacher for my form while doing high side kicks and boy lemme tell you it's a whole ass confidence booster when a 4 Dan black belt and poomsae judge tells you your side kick is on point 😊
February 26, 2024 at 8:41 PM
My legs are still sore from last week's training yet I'm still going to extra training today for reasons beyond my comprehension.
I do not know who I am, I do not know where I am. All I know is I must kick. 🥋
February 25, 2024 at 8:38 AM
Was feeling pretty down but I went to Bujinkan training and now I feel better. Bruised, but better.
February 23, 2024 at 7:26 PM
One of the best parts of my day is realising my bad feels, irritability and headache are probably because I forgot to eat lunch again.
Yeah.... I have learned nothing and it will absolutely happen again...🙃
February 23, 2024 at 1:04 PM
Made the 30 minute trip all the way to the dojang in freezing rain and waited 30 minutes only to find out the teacher was sick and hadn't notified anyone because she's so sick she straight forgot.
I'm a little bit disappointed 🙃
February 22, 2024 at 6:48 PM
Was looking forward to going to my favourite Japanese restaurant for a late lunch after SO finished work... Only to realize too late that they close for two hours at around the time we were going to go.
And we have taekwondo in the evening. 🥲
February 22, 2024 at 1:24 PM
Ugh. Woke up way early to get to my regular eye clinic check up, I'm sleepy and still have work, my body hurts from training and I still have poomsae practice later today...
But a stranger complimented my coat (which is rad tbh) so I've got that going for me which is nice.
February 22, 2024 at 8:54 AM
Yesterday my SO made me join her for cardio and core workouts.
Today she made me do a dumbbell HIIT workout with her before taekwondo practice.
She's either very invested in my physical well being or this is some kind of next-level domestic abuse 🥲
February 21, 2024 at 8:50 PM
Boy the world really is a shit show right now. I'm constantly torn between wanting to be informed and wanting to stay sane...
February 21, 2024 at 9:04 AM
Finally back to somewhat normal. More than ready to go back to training. On an unrelated note, Helldivers 2 looks fun. Shame I've not too many friends to play it with 😅
February 19, 2024 at 9:42 AM
Almost back to normal but not quite. It's given me time to reset from training but I'm still itching to go back asap.
I used to be very demotivated to work out but ever since my SO got me (read: dragged me) into taekwondo I've been way more into keeping in shape. Martial arts is the best workout.

I haven't been to a metal gig in so long I'm getting withdrawal. I think the last time was early November (Poisonblack anniversary gig). Then again it's so expensive to go out these days... Not to mention so many venues around here closed down in the past few years 🥲
